Partner with the Calaveras Visitors Bureau

As the official destination marketing organization for Calaveras County, recognized by the State of California’s tourism office, Visit California, we are dedicated to marketing and promoting Calaveras County as an outstanding tourism destination.

In order to fully represent the assets of the county, we don’t limit our marketing to advertising members only. However, there are some significant benefits to your partnership that are not available to non-advertising members.

Your paid advertising enables us to list you in our beautiful, magazine quality guide to the county: The Calaveras Activities Guide. We print and distribute 80,000 annually and as a member, they are available to you to distribute for free from your business.

Strategically distributed in Northern California through Certified Folder Display and locally by Motherlode Marketing, it’s also the primary marketing piece we hand out at consumer shows and to media and travel trade and is the fulfillment piece for online and print advertising. Curious about the effectiveness of printed visitor guides? Check out this 2013 study sponsored by the Western Association of Convention and Visitors Bureaus that surveyed the conversion rate of 11 destination marketing organizations’ printed visitor guides. Their findings show that directly distributed guides resulted in increased destination visitation and also extended length of stay. The average economic impact of visitor guide programs per destination for the year of the study was $22,557,212.

In addition to the physical copy of the Calaveras Experience Guide, a digital copy is available online with hyperlinks to all listed information, including your business.

As an advertising member, you are eligible to be part of two discount programs designed to drive more business to you. The award-winning VIP program is geared toward visitors and our new Frog Play program is specifically designed for locals for off-peak business. Both of these programs are free to join, we provide any necessary materials and do all of the marketing. You just decide what offers make most sense for your business.

These are just a few of the many benefits of advertising membership with the Calaveras Visitors Bureau. And as a first-time advertiser, you get the special, low introductory price of just $150 for your first year. This gives you all the same great value of a regular $250 advertising membership at nearly half the cost. Sign-up today and start getting the benefit of our destination marketing expertise.
